Mies van der Rohe built the German Pavilion for the International Exhibition of 1929. It's a very important building for the architecture history because of its very simple form and the use of marble and glass, looking as a contemporary building in the 21th century. The building stand on a large podium alongside a pool. Mies designed the famous Barcelona chair for the house which still being factured. Two of these chairs were used as thrones by the Spanish Royal Family when they visited the exhibition. The Pavilion was demolished at the end of the exhibition, but a copy has since been built on the same site.
